The Iowa Department of Education is accepting applications for the FY27 Computer Science Professional Development Incentive Fund, IowaGrants opportunity 676623.

Required next actionKeep this canonical record in draft until the Iowa Department of Education reconciles the November 1, 2026 program-page deadline with IowaGrants opportunity 676623, which displays November 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM. The FY27 guidance PDF also contains stale FY26/2025 cover and fiscal text despite identifying FY27 opportunity 676623 internally, so do not treat stale dates in that PDF as controlling. Do not initiate applicant outreach or package work until the exact controlling deadline is resolved.

Iowa school districts and accredited nonpublic schools can seek support for teachers pursuing computer-science endorsements or authorizations, with up to $300 per credit and up to $500 for textbooks. IowaGrants lists April 30, 2027 at 9:53 AM; the Department program page says May 1, 2027, so Atlas uses the earlier deadline conservatively.
Required next actionHold publication and applicant outreach until Iowa Department of Education reconciles its May 1, 2027 close date with IowaGrants opportunity 667406, which currently lists April 30, 2027 at 9:53 AM. Do not infer a time zone. Preserve the opportunity as verified open, first come first served while funds remain, and do not force N9+ or QC Healthcare into this teacher-endorsement use case.
